For my birthday in June, is there a shorter race I can start running? I want to run with my daughter sometime!”

Hi Sue! Running with your daughter is a perfect idea for a Disney race. There are a lot of mother and daughter groups, and even mother/daughter/grandmother runners too!

Because of the heat factor in the summer months, there are no races in the month of June. The next race will be at Disneyland on Labor Day weekend, and then there are two more at Disney World, in September and November. Each race weekend offers the 5K distance race, which would be a great race for a beginner. They are 3.1 miles and are very laid-back, family-friendly races. Walkers are more than welcome at any runDisney event.

You can see the full runDisney calendar on the runDisney website. Please let me know if you have any other questions as you begin your running adventures!
